Schools to Get Objective Sex Film A colored movie on human re production and growth, believed to be the first of its kind in the world, will be made available to the schools of Oregon and other quali fied agencies next week. Technical director of the motion picture, “Human Growth,’’ is Les ter F. Beck, associate professor of psychology. The E. C. Brown trust fund administered by Dr. Adolph Weinzirl of the University medical school, financed the project. It was filmed by the Eddie Albert produc tions of Hollywood. The movie began as 80 slides on sex education study, prepared in August, 1946, and was showed to some 1600 persons in PTA groups for comment and criticism. A re working of the film from the slides was the result. PTA Approves The film has received the written endorsement of the Oregon Con gress of Parents and Teachers, and has the guarded permission of the state department of education. The movie received “a warm welcome” by teacher-training institutions and particularly by the physical educa tion department of the University, according to University officials. The movie is designed for care ful coordination with health classes in junior high schools, and will be shown uhder the supervision of competent teachers. In giving a “go-ahead” to th use of the film, Rex Putnam, state superintendent of public instruc tion said, “It may be shown in those districts where the proper ar rangements have been made to show the picture to the pupils and where it has been passed by the parents beforehand. Sex instruction in this state is in the stage of ex perimentation, and we are having to educate in advance of a trend.” The film, running about 20 min mutes, emphasizes general process es of growth and reproduction rather than anatomical detail. The stylized drawings, screened in carefully chosen colors, do not have the detail of medical drawings and show both the male and female re productive organs. The finished film has now been shown to some 3000 persons, most ly parents and teachers. Statistics on their reactions, compiled by Mareille H. Harris, graduate stu dent in psychology at the Univer sity, are completed for the first 1131 respondents. Only 16 of those persons say they would not want a child of theirs to see the film. The largest negative response, in a small very conserva tive community, was only five per cent. The percentage of all groups combined is only one and four tenths per cent. The film has been shown only on a voluntary request from each school and has not been shown at any parochial schools. Post-Game Hop Slated in Annex A free after-game (lance sponsored by Educational Activ ities board will be held in Ger linger annex Friday night.

Future May See Fewer Oregana Books Printed Unless the student body pur chases a sufficient number of 1948 Oreganas in the immediate future it may be necessary to reduce the number of books printed from 4200 to 4000, declared Olga Yevtich, business manager, after a confer ence yesterday afternoon. Miss Yevtich pointed out, how ever, that if enough students indi cate their desire to purchase a copy of the yearbook by Thursday, Feb ruary 19, the proposed cut may not be necessary. May Be Fewer If the number of Oreganas to be printed is reduced by 200, students now registered but who have not ordered the book will not be as sured of a copy when it is released next spring. If the cut is made the books not already reserved will be held for spring term enrollees. Students may evidence their in tention of buying by placing a $2 deposit and a promise to pay the ?4 balance by April 15 with the educational activities office. Partial Payment The temporary partial payment plan was instituteed, said Miss Yevtich, for the benefit of those students who are not able to pay the full $6 at this time but who want a copy of the book. On November 18, 1947, the edu cational activities board authorized the printing of 4200 copies of the yearbook. Since that time, however, sales have failed to reach the need ed quota thus necessitating the proposed cut. But Still Good Ross Yates, editor of the 1948 Orcgana, emphatically declared that any such cut would in no way affect the quality of the yearbook. The educational activities office in McArthur court is open from 8 to 12 noon and 1 to 5 p.m. daily. State Newsmen Plan Business Session, Forums Harold E. Stassen, candidate for the Republican presidential nom ination, and Charles E.
